These pages contain photos and stories and whatever else
I could find pertaining to the People of Dayton and the
various buildings and scenery that our ancestors called
"home."

Many
of these photos were shared with me by various other
Dayton area researchers in the hopes of bringing alive
their ancestors and hopefully finding some new cousins
and perhaps identifying some "unknown faces" in
their pictures.

I do not live
in the Dayton area, nor have I ever been there, but years
of research, have made me feel like I have lived there my
whole life. There has been so much enjoyment
researching this small town and learning how our
immigrant ancestors ended up calling Dayton, Minnesota,
their home.

We
hope you enjoy visiting Dayton, People and
Places. You can visit my personal webpage,
"Ancestor's Attic" to see the extended
family trees of French Canadian families that I have
researched and see if any of your surnames are in my
database from the Dayton and surrounding areas.http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~patty0802

Please feel
free to contact me or the Hennepin County Coordinator
with any additions or corrections. Let's make this
a truly "Family Oriented Site"
! Patty0802@aol.com

There
are many, many Family History stories and photos included
in the Historical Cookbook of St. John The Baptist
Church. But due to copyright laws, I cannot
reprint them here.
I would be more than happy to pass along the information
to interested family members, or provide the information
on how to order a book for yourself. It is a very
informative and fun to read book, if you have Dayton
family ancestors. I highly recommend it
!
